You can't see the beach but you can hear the waves crashing, the birds chirping, and you can see tortoises and turtles. It connects from Little Talbot Island to the Timucuan Trail. It was a flat but pleasant walk with a breeze. Parking is available near the trail, and there are picnic tables, covered pavilions, porta potties, and access to the beach via boardwalk. It is $4 to enter the park, and there are other trails to walk as well.

Covered area for groups and plenty of hiking, biking and walking trails for those who want a little more challenge. Bring your gear here because they don't provide them on this part of the island.... One of the best places to bring family and friends to relax at the beach or bring a book and go solo. Either way, I absolutely appreciate LTI for not being too touristy like other areas more south from here. Lovely.

CJ was great and shared about this being a long-time family business of his after his family moved from New Hampshire. I talked a friend of mine into coming with me even though she wasn't very experienced and was 6 months pregnant. We rented a double kayak for $60 for the afternoon and had a great time! We were given a very clear map and instructions by CJ, but we still got a little turned around because we weren't looking out for the buoy markers on the waterways. He explained that if we needed help we could just dock at the campground and he would pick us up. That's what we ended up doing since my friend was tired. CJ and his friendly pup were happy to pick us up and arrived quickly. I'm an experienced kayaker but this was an entirely new cool experience being in a salt marsh. Would've liked to have seen more wildlife, but it was still a beautiful day and we enjoyed ourselves a lot. Bonus is having a state park right down the road to walk the beach, enjoy the ocean and go shelling!

The tides going in or out so make a difference in whether you're going to be paddling a bit harder going one way or another. But it wasn't so hard that myself and my 8 year old (together in a tandem) couldn't do it. The place itself is very rustic, and super chill. Ask questions if you have them- my experience was they didn't offer up a lot of info or assistance without me having to specifically ask.

Starting with my initial phone call to Open Road, every interaction I had with the staff was handled courteously, professionally, and knowledgeably.

The work was indeed done the following week and to my complete satisfaction.

The kind of job that shouldn't take longer than about 30 min. I explained that I'm from 1.5 hr away and I'd like to make the drive only once if possible. I asked if they would be able to schedule me an appointment to get the work done. He said I'd have to call back and speak with Jeff the next day. I called back and spoke to Jeff and explained my situation. He said they're really busy and wouldn't be able to get to it today. I asked about next weekend or the weekend after. It became very clear, he had absolutely no interest in doing the work. I said I'll find another shop. Poor customer service. Sadly more of the norm when it comes to bike shops these days.
